Well, that's not exactly true.
Verbatim's own plants are in Singapore but they only make DVD+/-R DL and
HD-DVD media now... (And there's a plant in Japan making BD-R(E) only.)
Most Verbatim media (CD-R(W), DVD+/-R(W) SL) are made in Taiwan by CMC, Prodisc, or in India by Moser Baer.
If you find any Verbatim branded CD-R or DVD+/-R that is MIJ, it is most likely Taiyo Yuden media instead.
